pembroke cottage is a beautifully composed retreat nestled within the greenery and wildlife of richmond park. occupying an elevated position within the parkland, it enjoys far-reaching views over the thames valley. the property spans 2,915 sq ft across three generous storeys, offering lofty proportions, landscaped gardens, and secure parking.
approached via a gated entrance with off-street parking for two cars, the raised ground floor entrance hall sets the tone for the scale within. impressively proportioned, it is anchored by a bespoke stone staircase rising beneath a soane-style glass skylight – the architectural centrepiece of the home that allows light to filter down through the spine of the cottage. to the left, a reception room unfolds with vaulted ceilings and a full-width glass window framing sweeping valley views, creating a breathtaking backdrop for entertaining. adjacent, a study opens onto a private balcony overlooking the gardens.
the lower ground floor reveals additional living spaces. the eat-in kitchen features an oak-beamed ceiling, granite worktops, and a gas-fired aga, alongside a dining area for eight and a brick fireplace with a gas-fired log stove – a charming setting for intimate gatherings. a further reception room sits beyond, with a cosy study tucked off to one side. multiple patio doors from both the kitchen and reception spill out onto the garden and outdoor seating area. the utility room and two bathrooms complete this level.
the three bedrooms are generous doubles. two are located on the raised ground floor, one with an en suite. the principal suite enjoys the privacy of the entire first floor, featuring a spacious bathroom and lovely views over the rose gardens.
pembroke cottage sits within the 2,500-acre richmond park, one of london′s most extraordinary green spaces famous for its roaming deer. it places residents moments from the town of richmond and its wealth of attractions, including the thames, richmond green, and the nearby botanical splendour of kew gardens. a thriving high street offers an excellent array of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, while families are well served by an exceptional selection of nearby schools, including ibstock house, kings house, the old vic, st catherine′s, radnor house and the vineyard.
